Explanation:

Explanation: Damodar River, a river Ganges River System occupies the eastern margins of
the Chotanagpur Plateau where it flows through a rift valley. So, first statement is wrong.
Peninsular rivers are characterized by fixed course, absence of meanders and non-perennial
flow of water. The Narmada and Tapi which flow through the rift valley are, however,
exceptions. Hence none of the statements are correct.
